Belize is a tiny English speaking country in Central America. It is located just south of Mexico, east of Guatemala, and its entire coast is bordered by the Caribbean Sea. With all its natural beauty, diverse cultures, and warm, friendly people Belize is truly a hidden gem in the Caribbean. Many people consider it the "Jewel of the Caribbean".

No matter what type of adventure you are looking for I am sure you will find it there.

You can visit one of the larger islands for a day trip, or you can stay there for your entire vacation. It is entirely up to you. Once there, you can plan a dive trip to the barrier reef or one of the many other world class dive sites in Belize and see some truly amazing underwater scenery.

If you are a passionate scuba diver then you must visit the Great Blue Hole at Lighthouse Reef. It is one of the most astonishing dive sites in the world. At the center of the reef is an almost perfect circle one quarter of a mile wide. The blue hole descends to a depth of 480 feet (145 m).

If you love fishing then charter a boat to take you deep sea fishing beyond the reef. Do you like fly fishing? Plan a day trip to go salt water fly fishing for bonefish in one of the flats.

Are you a fan of history? Then visit one of the many ancient Mayan sites located throughout the country. Or visit one of the museums rich with Belizean history and artifacts. Each one has something special to offer.

They have a very nice selection of souvenirs.
